Fritzsch's texture is imposed on {\em all} mass matrices in a SUSY-SO(10) via a family $U(1)_{PQ}$ symmetry. The observed charged fermion parameters fix the $\nu$-masses and mixing, while the later are evolved from the GUT scale to low…

We consider the neutrino masses and mixing in the framework of SO(10) GUTs with hidden sector consisting of fermionic and bosonic SO(10) singlets and flavor symmetries. The framework allows to disentangle the CKM physics responsible for the…
The discrete flavor symmetry A4 explains very well neutrino data at low energy, but it seems difficult to extend it to grand unified models since in general left-handed and right-handed fields belong to different A4 representations.…
